"Somewhere To Be"
I can't seem to find my reason,
all I do is feel so bad.
Like the rain ruining a day at the beach.
I see others being happy and carefree,
and I long to be them,
to know their secret.
Why are they so happy when I'm so miserable?
All I do is take away the pain by slitting myself
while not even caring.
I want myself to know how I feel.
I want to know that I am not dead,
but that I am alive.
But I don't want to have to cut to feel that every night.
I want to be me, I want to be real.
I want to know why I have to feel so down.
I want to know why I have this agony in my heart.
I feel it there and it's tearing me apart.
Those that I love, love me back.
Those that I hate, hate me back.
I want to be noticed for me,
not for what others want me to be.
I love feeling free.
I love the light,
that no one will see until that night.
The night when my suffering will take me from this world.
Then I'll be carefree and beautiful,
and then I'll be where I am supposed to be.

That was amazing! I feel so similiarly.
A quick question: At the end, are you saying that you overcome your depression or kill yourself? Sorry, it confused me there.
That was a really well-written poem, it makes me not feel so alone.
